Your Brand Forecast: Sunny with a Chance of Major TV, OTT, & Digital Coverage ​

The weather can literally brighten your day, shift plans, dampen spirits, or even pull a community together in the aftermath of its wrath.​ Watching weather reports is a daily ritual and an essential factor in our decisions. When it comes to your brand, being part of the local weather forecast can create an optimal climate for contextually relevant brand messaging. ​That’s where TEGNA can help make it rain.

Whether it’s raining cats and dogs or sunny skies for days, millions of Americans depend on their local TV meteorologists for the weather reports that affect their daily lives.

Better yet, our award-winning, industry-leading meteorologists anchor much more than just weather news. They ground their communities with a commitment to local needs and causes, helping fulfill TEGNA’s mission to serve the greater good of our local communities, such as KARE 11’s WeatherMinds
